Olomouc: the column as an urban monument

Useful to know

The column of the Holy Trinity in Olomouc is a Baroque monument of the early 18th century. UNESCO indicates a height of 35 meters and a rich religious sculpture program. [1]

For architectural reading, compare the human scale at the base with the entire height. The monument is not a building with usual premises, but organizes attention and relations in the open space. The detailed picture shows the figures; the general view explains the urban presence. The two types of images answer different questions and cannot be completely replaced.
